I want to get the changes right before I start re-copying all my pages and making each be CSS-linked. If all images are off, it would only have maroon, right? (not good cos text won't be seen then, true?) But to have a maroon 2nd layer (middle layer) of the triple border, I need maroon to replace the image. Right? wrong? And for the beige innermost layer, I need beige? I'm missing//not understanding something about the backgrounds but I'm probably not explaining my question very well. :-/ If I only need beige as the full background, where would the beige color be put in the CSS? Here are the 3 borders/layers from the CSS. For the whole page, full background, where would I put the beige? (If I leave it as I have it and images failed, would I just have a big maroon page?) Part of the CSS starts here: */========================= this creates the first background layer as well as body styles 1st WOULD the BEIGE color go in here instead of the maroon? ========================= */ body, p td { background: #691F01 url('weosbokchito4_sm_41K.gif');/*downtown-washington-pa*/; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } body img { border: 0px; text-decoration: none; } /* ================== OR, would the beige color go in HERE? this styles the middle div or container 2nd layer try hex #691F01 burgundy ===================== */ #container { margin: 15px auto 15px auto; width: 98%; /* decrease width to add more padding to outer layer*/; background: #691F01 url('wburgundy_2nd.jpg');/*burgundy*/; padding: 8px; /* increase number to add more padding*/ border: #8A2B0F 3px ridge; } /* ===================== OR, would the beige color go in HERE???? inner or centermost layer 3rd color try beige hex #E2DDB5 AND if the #color goes in here, how/where do I put the color into the css below? ======================= */ #inner { margin: 15px auto 15px auto; width: 99%; background-image: url('wbeige_3rd.jpg');/*pinkish*/; padding: 10px; border: 2px ridge #999999; } /* ========================= deleted the comment, not needed for this question; the rest of the CSS not included for my question ====================== */
